Previously, other governors and I have used that historic chamber to kick off a Joint Session of the Alabama Legislature for the State of the State address. Tonight, however, is different, just like 2020 was different from every other year in memory. Instead of addressing the 140 members of the Legislature in person, the Capitol building is empty tonight. Because of COVID-19, our legislators have appropriately taken the added precaution of social distancing in their respective chambers as they prepare for the formal start to their Regular Session. To the men and women of the Legislature, let me begin with a word of heartfelt thanks. Thank you for working with my Administration and me as, together, we have looked for good ideas and solutions to the challenges and demands of this past year. And, I know I speak for every elected leader throughout the state when I say we all owe the people of Alabama a debt of gratitude for their willingness to work with us as we have navigated one of the most challenging years in our state’s history. Make no mistake, this time last year things were different...much different. At 2.7 percent, Alabama had the lowest unemployment rate in our state’s history.
